WALLY LAMB
One of America’s major authors and the pride of Connecticut, Wally Lamb, is the author of such award-winning works as “She’s Come Undone,” “I Know This Much is True,” “I’ll Fly Away,” and “The Hour I First Believed. “
Born in Norwich, Lamb taught English and writing for 25 years at Norwich Free Academy. He was an Associate Professor in the English Department at the University of Connecticut and the school’s Director of Creative Writing. His first two works of fiction, “She’s Come Undone” and “I Know This Much Is True,” were both number one on “The New York Times” bestsellers and Oprah’s Book Club selections. His novel “I’ll Take You There” is a salute to the legacy of the Garde Theater, which was recently named the Number One Outstanding Historic Theater in America by the League of the Historic American Theaters and will be celebrating its centennial in 2026. Lamb also recently hosted a three-day screening at the Garde of the award-winning HBO film version “I Know This Much Is True” along with its star Mark Ruffalo.
Lamb currently lives in Connecticut with his wife, Christine.
